Only the third vintage from Esporão's new Vinho Verde estate in the far north of Portugal. A white wine with an exuberant, fresh and light aroma, dominated by citrus fruits and tropical aromas. a lingering and refreshing aftertaste. A wine that expresses the characteristics and varieties of the Vinho Verde region, Loureiro from the Lima sub-region, Alvarinho from Monção and Melgaço and the Avesso from Baião. It is a light and refreshing wine for all occasions.

Grapes: Alvarinho, Avesso, Loureiro

Manual harvest, pneumatic pressing of whole grapes. Cold decant the wort for 48 hours. Fermentation at controlled temperature (10-15ºC) for 12 to 15 days. In contact with the lees, for about 4 to 6 months in a stainless steel tank at controlled temperature.

The year started with a relatively rainy winter and spring. This resulted in a year of hard work in the vineyard and low production. The summer was cool compared to the average and therefore the ripening of the grapes was slow and balanced. We began the harvest on 8 September, a week earlier than usual.
